Former Detroit Pistons‘ forward Anthony Tolliver was the recipient of one of the most “It’s just business” calls in recent memory in early June. On the morning of June 2nd, he turned 32. Later that day, his team, the Sacramento Kings, released him.
While this sounds cold-blooded, it was a move that Tolliver was probably aware was coming, and it could prove to make him more money in the long run. This was the final season of a two-year $16 million deal he signed last summer with the Kings, and he was due $8 million this season.
